His housemate might find him on the couch, knees hugged to his chest.

Just quiet.]]

[miss_enma_ai]

[She's....still here.

And approaches him.]

...Aaron?

B 1/2

[pants_yourmove]

[[He notices her, he gets his hopes up for a brief second.

Was it her?]]

2/2

[pants_yourmove]

[[No, it was wrong. He could tell.

They didn't just erase them. They replaced them!]]

Why are you doing this?

[miss_enma_ai]

...doing?

[pants_yourmove]

Is it because we were selfish?

Is it because we were cowards?

Why?

[[He yells the last question at her, accusingly.]]

[miss_enma_ai]

I...don't...

Aaron?

[Flinches back....he's yelling at her. He's never yelled at her before.]

[pants_yourmove]

Just stop!

Do you think this is funny?

[miss_enma_ai]

What are you talking about?

[pants_yourmove]

Ai's gone.

She volunteered to go and now I am still here.

Just go away. I'm not playing this game you guys, not this time.

Drone me, kill me, I don't care, just go away!

[miss_enma_ai]

.......I'm still here....

[pants_yourmove]

Maybe she's home. Maybe she's with her friends again and is fine.

[[He wants to hope.]]

And I'll be here, stuck with you to remind me of what I did.

Is that the stupid trick this time?

[miss_enma_ai]

....I'm right here.

[pants_yourmove]

You look almost like her.

Though not quite.

Did you guys think we wouldn't notice?

[miss_enma_ai]

They're tricking you now.

[pants_yourmove]

Prove it.

No, wait, don't bother. They change my memories on me so often around here I can't trust that either.

[[Always getting into his head, always attacking his fears.]]

I'm going...

I'm going to go. I have to prepare.

[miss_enma_ai]

[Just...watching him go.]
